All that brand equity means to businesses

According to the American Marketing Association, brand equity arises out of the consumer’s favorable perception of a brand. It is based on the consumers’ attitudes about positive brand attributes and favorable consequences of brand use. Most importantly it is the value a brand provides to an organization. Consumers’ perception of the brand can be positive or negative. Depending on that brand equity can be low or high.
